MY LITTLE JOJO: STANDS ARE MAGIC CH 1: INTRODUCTION

>Magic
>It was something that existed naturally in all Equestrian beings in some form
>Unicorns could directly manipulate it
>Pegasus could fly and control the weather
>Earth ponies were connected with nature or some shit
>The enhanced physique might also count
>Zebras
>Griffins
>Hell, you bet the fuckin' YAKS have something up their sleeves
>But you?
>You-
>"-don't have any magic?"
>Yeah, what Twi said
"Nope."
>"Really? No magic to speak of at all?"
"Nope. Seein' as I'm from a world completely devoid of magic, it would make sense for me not to have any."
>"Oh. I had just assumed... never mind."
>Yup, in a world full of technicolor equines and magic, you had nothing
>It's not as if you expected to have any
>Or to BE here, for that matter
>But you felt kind of like an outcast in that aspect
>Mind you, in THAT aspect
>You were kind of surprised by just how accepting the pones were when you first met
>Though you had just broken your leg falling through a portal into Twilight's castle, so you may have earned some sympathy points there
>Nonetheless, they were quite accepting even after you started walking around normally
>Still, it sucked that, in a world so full of magic, you got the short end of the stick
>You though that maybe, once your body acclimated to it, you could do SOMETHING with it
>Hell, that's why you were here in the library at this moment
>You grabbed Twilight and asked for her help
>"Hey Twilight, Anon. How everything going?"
>Starlight enters, waving a hoof at you both
"Hey Star. What's up?"
>"Oh not much. I had just finished buying ingredients for dinner, was bringing them back and happened to pass by. Whatcha doing?"
>"Anon wanted me to help him see if he could use magic."
>"How's that going?"
>You sigh
"We got nothing."
>"What have you tried?"
>"Beginner spellbooks, clouds, plants, shamanic rituals..."
"All for nothing. Fuck."
>"Oh, come on. You're fine the way you are. Why would you even need magic if there wasn't any in your world?"
"I dunno..."
>You had always wanted to wield magic
>Whether it was controlling the elements
>Seeing spirits, maybe talking to them
>Manipulating time and space
>That shit sounded AWESOME to you
>But, naturally, that was all within the world of make-believe
>You could wish for it all you want, wouldn't change the fact that it didn't exist
>In your world, anyways
>But this was Equestria
>This WAS the world of make-believe
>Well, a world of make-believe
>Maybe, just MAYBE, in this colorful world of knee-high equines and sunshine and rainbows, you hoped that magic might be something you could do
>But of course not
"I had always wanted to use magic back in my own world, but naturally, as there was none, I kind of just threw away that dream. I thought maybe now, in a world full of it... never mind."
>You get up, knowing there was no point in pursuing this childish fantasy of yours any longer
>You can't use magic
>You exhale with disappointment
>Obviously, this wasn't anything to cry over
>But a little bit of you died just now
>Starlight looks at your face, growing a frown, then getting thoughtful
>"I... have a bit of an idea."
>You look up at Glim-Glam
"Really?"
>"Now now, this isn't some surefire way of getting you magic. Just... an idea."
>"What are you thinking, Starlight?"
>"Twilight, you know how some unicorn foals have trouble using magic because there's a magical block in their system?"
>"Well, yeah, but I do-"
>"And how there's a magical procedure to remove that block?"
>"Well-"
>Twilight's mind works for a second, before finally figuring out what Starlight was getting at
>"Ooooh, ok. I see where you're going with this."
"Could I perhaps get a glimpse of this idea?"
>"Oh, sorry Anon. You see, Starlight mentioned the procedure because it involves a spell that examines a pony's magical energies and their soul."
"Their soul?"
>"It's tied to a pony's magic."
"Okay then, so you'll be examining my soul to see if I have any latent magic or whatever?"
>"Yup. Ready?"
"I might need a minute..."
>"Alright, whenever you're ready."
>You take what time you need to mentally prepare yourself for the fact that two ponies were about to basically peer into your soul...
"Alright. I'm good. Go ahead."
>Both unicorns nod at each other, and Twilight pulls out a strange gem from a deep corner in the library
"What's that?"
>"A soulstone. It'll help us see into your soul with the spell."
"O-okay then."
>Star and Twi both focus their magic into the stone, their eyes beginning to glow
>A minute of charging later, and a beam of magical energy shoots straight into your chest
>aAAAND THIS FEELS WEIRD
>NO AMOUNT OF PREPARATION COULD MAKE YOU READY FOR THIS FUUUUUCK
"aaaAAA THIS FEELS WEIRD!"
>"Are you alright? Should we stop?"
"NO TWILIGHT, I'M FINE! THIS JUST FEELS STRANGE!"
>"O-okay. Just tell us if you want us to stop okay?"
"Got it."
>They both begin prodding around in you, and you don't get used to it at all
>Seriously, it's... eeeEEEEEEH!
>"Are you seeing anything Starlight?"
>"Magic is generally found around the nervous system so I'm checking nerve endings right now."
>"So, you got anything?"
>...
>"No. I'm sorry Anon, but I can't see anything."
>Oh
>You sigh, your hopes dashed
>...
>...
>"Wait."
>"What's up Starlight?"
>"I.."
>"I think..."
>"I think I see something."
>"What?"
>"It's... It's kind of connected to the heart, but... Twilight, has something like this ever been inside a pony?"
>"Well, Anon isn't really a pony... nor is he any species we've seen before, so..."
>You feel that bit of hope that died resurrect itself
>"...I'm going to see if I can bring it out."
>"Are you sure that's a good idea Starlight?"
>"I won't pull too hard. I just want to examine it better."
>You feel Starbledarble pull on something in your chest for a second
>And OOOOOOOOOOHSWEETJESUS
"FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUUUUU-"
>"STARLIGHT, STOP!"
>"I DID, IT'S MOVING AWAY FROM ANON'S HEART ON ITS OWN!"
>"WE NEED TO STOP THE SPELL!"
>In an instant, the spell falters and disappears
>You fall to the floor, writhing not in pain, but something else
>Like a part of you, something you didn't even know existed just fell out of your body
>Like you've had an extra hand attached to your heart your whole life and no one had the decency to inform you, only finding out now
>You try to speak up, to utter "HELP"
>All that comes up is vomit and fatigue
>You can hear the girls shouting, asking you to stay awake
>Starlight is holding you in her hooves
>You can hear her pleading, begging you not to close your eyes
>Unfortunately, having your essence violated like a virgin on prom night basically tuckered you out
>Before you pass out, you notice something odd floating above you that neither mare seems to notice
>Why... did... I have...
>Three... floating... rocks...
>Stuck... in my chest...

>Anon's eyes close
>No
>NO
>Panicking, you shake Anon
"ANON, PLEASE WAKE UP! THIS ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE!"
>Twilight wraps Anon in a magical barrier along with you and her
>Before you know it, you three have been teleported to Ponyville General
>"WE NEED HELP!"
>One of the orderlies spots Anon and quickly grabs him, ordering others to grab a gurney
>The next few minutes are a blur
>Anon being pulled into an operating room
>You, begging and screaming to see him
>Twilight forcefully pulling you away
>Now you're sobbing into Twilight's chest as she strokes your mane, unable to console you
>Good job Starlight
>Real nice, Starlight
>How's it feel putting your friend in mortal danger?
>This was bound to happen
>You're like a Yakyaki nesting doll of failure
>Every layer, a new fuckup
>Remember when mom left? How that was your fault because you just had to be so demanding?
>How you can never hold a relationship because you're such a bitch?
>How you enslaved an entire town of ponies because I LOST A FRIEND BECAUSE HE GOT HIS CUTIE MARK WAAAAAH
>This'll go right into that nesting doll
>"Excuse me, Princess Twilight?"
>Your self loathing is broken up by Nurse Redheart approaching with a clipboard
>"We have some news on Mr. Mouse."
>You leap to her feet, shocking the nurse and forcing Twilight to telekinetically pull you back
>"Aaaanyways, the good news is that he's relatively stable. He's still got a pulse and is breathing fine. We couldn't find any injuries, internal or external."
>Please have him walk out and suprise us
>Please don't leave us, Anon
>Please
>̭͍P͉͟L̴̥̋̀E̟͐͆͠A̲͋S̯̒́E̪̲
>"The bad news is he hasn't woken up and any attempt to awaken him has failed. Just as well, he seems to have a fever of about 103°F"
>You go limp, letting it all sink in
>"So what are you gonna do?"
>"Well, princess, we were hoping you could sign this waiver and let us keep watch over him for the next few days. We'll keep him fed and such. We simply want to examine him. We've never seen something like this. Especially with his soul. It seemed as if he had something deep within pulled out."
>You don't say a word
>You just want to go home
>You just want to sleep
>You just want to die
>"Might you know something about that, miss Starlight?"
>You explain what happened in detail, doing what you can to keep from breaking down
>"So, this.. thing was pulled from near his heart?"
>She looks at you, confused
>"I... don't think I've heard of any sort of magical buildup near the heart... but we'll check and see if it comes back."


>For the next 10 days, you take every minute you can sitting beside Anon's bed
>The other girls are worried naturally, but they all have lives outside of this to take care of
>Every minute you can get next to Anon, you take it
>The other girls begin to worry about YOU at some point
>Say you shouldn't be spending so much time sitting there
>That you shouldn't be blaming yourself
>Why wouldn't you blame yourself?
>You did this
>It's your fault
>...
>9:00 AM on the Eleventh day
>You've been here since 8:00
>Technically, visiting hours aren't until 10:00 on Sundays, but thanks to special permission from a certain princess, you get to see him early
>...
>Please wake up Anon
>...
>Anything...
>...A finger spasm
>...A word
>....give me something
>...I can't sleep knowi-
>A slight movement from the bed covers
>Is it?
>He stirs a bit and...
>He's awake
>He's AWAKE
>HE'S AWAKE
>You nearly choke him with a bigass bear hug
>Then you remember
>The girls
>THEY'LL BE SO EXCITED
>You let go of Anon, filled with more energy than ever before
"Sorry Anon, I'll be right back!"
>After getting the girls and Spike, you all arrive to find Anon...
>Staring straight into the ceiling
>Odd, but WHO CARES, HE'S ALIVE AND AWAKE!
>All the girls go in for a hug and give him some gifts they brought him...
>...but he seems distracted with the ceiling
>Is he hallucinating?
"What's wrong Anon?"
>"OH! Hey Starlight, glad to see you're here. Could you, uhh... Could you do something for me real quick?"
"Anything, Anon."
>"Could you..."

"...Pass your hoof over here?"
>Starlight looks at you, befuddled at why you'd request that
>Admittedly, she wasn't seeing what you were seeing...
>...Which was 3 basketball-sized spheres orbiting each other above your head
>Before Glim came back with the girls, you took the time to examine each of them
>One of them was absolutely cold to the touch, like it could give you frostbite
>The second one looked... kinda like Earth
>Water, land that was green, except for near the poles
>The landmasses were different, but nonetheless
>The third one had an orange-brown tinge to it, and a wide but thin ring circling it
>When you reached at it, you felt... mostly air and... wind?
>Like it was a...
>Gas giant
>You currently have three basketball sized planetoids spinning above you in a perfect circular orbit
>Starlight stretches her hoof out and you gently pull it towards the objects above you, making sure not to touch them yourself
>Aaand yep, her hoof passes through them
>Huh
>"So Anon, are you ready for your SUPER DUPER JUST-WOKE-UP-FROM-A-COMA-PARTY?"
"Uh, yeah, sure, just... could you hand me something small?"
>"Sure, Nonny! How about this pencil?"
"Sure."
>She gives you the pencil with her mouth
>You wanted to check something
>When you were examining the planets earlier, whenever you moved your hand into their orbit, it felt like your hand became weightless
>You put the pencil in the orbit of the spheres
>...And it floats
>Unbeknownst to you, everypony in the room has taken notice
>You tap the pencil as lightly as possible, causing it to lean ever so slightly to the left
>"Anon..."
>"Are y'all doin' this?"
>Holy shit
>Holy SHIT
>YOU ARE DOING THIS
>FUCK YE-
>Getting excited seems to have made you lose control of the orbs, making them spin
>After a few seconds, the pencil flies and sticks straight into the ceiling tile above you
>Woops
>...
>"Mr. Mouse?" Are you awake?"

>A few hours pass
>After getting your check up and clearance to leave, you and the girls head into town
>Pinkie really DID have a Just-Woke-Up-From-A-Coma Party set up.
>And it was pretty good
>It was nice to see all of your friends happy
>And the gifts weren't bad either
>But god DAMN did it tucker you out
>You were NOT a partygoer
>Not to say you didn't enjoy hanging with friends back home
>But there was a reason you were noted as "The Shut-in" by all of them
>It wasn't the worst name to be called
>That went to Danny "Boypucci" Barducci
>You'd think that little stint with him would have earned you something like that too, but apparently not
>Sure you like the ladies, but how co-
>Enough about your sexuality
>You were too distracted with a little theory
>After the party, you asked the girls to help you with something
>If these things you had were what you thought they were...
>You decide to run a few tests
>After getting enough control over them, you ask Rarity to grab some measuring tape
>While waiting in the main entryway of the Château d'Twi, you heard Starlight and Twilight have what sounded like a heated argument
>From what you gather, the soulstone that they used on you has gone missing
>Oh well, not important right now
>First: any damage done to it is reflected on its user
>You wind up the hardest punch you can muster and strike one of the spheres
>Resulting in a sudden massive headache
>Well, you're not bleeding or anything, but you're pretty sure that counts
>"Are you alright darling?"
>You turn to see Rarity with her measuring tape ready at hoof
"Yeah, just gimme a sec."
>Next: the farther it is from its user, the less powerful it is
>You bring the planets right up to your face, their orbit now completely vertical
>After increasing their orbit's speed to its max, you grab a bit from your back pocket and throw it through
>*PTCHOOOO*
>It shoots through like a fucking bullet, hitting the wall and shattering on impact
>Damn
>After a few minutes of guiding Rarity to the max range you could get the orbiting rocks to, you ask her to put her hoof through them
>Rather, you asked her to start waving it and stop where it felt weird
>After she stopped, you asked her how her hoof felt
>"Kind of... weightless?"
>You were spinning those things at max speed
>Alright then, that test is a success
>Out of curiosity, you ask Rarity to measure the distance between the two of you
>820 feet
>Around 250 meters
>DAMN
>Now for one last test, though it's more for curiosity than anything else
>You do your best to withdraw the three orbs, eventually making them phase out of existence
>Then, you search deep in your soul
>...And hear a name call to you, begging to be beckoned
"...「SATURN'S CHILDREN」!"
>The orbs reappear into reality
>Well, while you're not 100% certain, you're sure enough
>You get Rarity and Spike to round up the other girls for a meeting

>After everypony is seated in their thrones, you approach the map in the center, arms behind your back, Saturn's Children floating above the map
"Ladies, if what I think has happened has indeed happened..."
"That being the sickness I endured and the odd manifestation now floating in front of me...
"Then I both am excited... yet fearful of what I must inform you."
>"Why's that? So you see a bunch of floating rocks everywhere you go. BIG WHOOP."
"Big whoop indeed, Ms Dash. If I'm correct, then these "floating rocks" I have dubbed Saturn's Children are a both a blessing to me... and a possible curse to Ponyville, Equestria, perhaps the entire world."
>"Um... why would that be Anon? Rarity said that you said that you could only extend them around 250 meters."
"Why yes, Fluttershy, I can only extend them to that length indeed. That, however, is not why they may pose a threat to the world."
>"What could result from you getting... Saturn's Children as you call them? How could that possibly endanger Equestria or the world at large?"
"Simple Starlight. If I'm correct..."
"...I have, what some back in my world might call..."
"...A Stand."
